Screen Corruption After OS4.1 Update 2
« on: June 07, 2010, 12:20:23 PM »
Hi All,

After installing OS4.1 Update 2, when I drag windows around I get random corruption on the screen.

Once I let the window go, the entire screen goes black and immediately returns with everything painted normally.

This is a fresh OS4.1 Update 1 with Update 2 applied on top, then the various AmiUpdate's applied. Noting that most of those needed to be done manually. Using SFS.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks.

Weird. I have never seen anything like this.

What system and graphics card are you using?
SAM440 with the onboard Radeon M9 64MB graphics.

And it's not all windows either, small windows, you can shake em all over the available workbench, larger ones like OWB cause the problem immediately.

How does it behave in the following configurations?

1) Compositing disabled
2) Compositing enabled, optimise for memory usage
3) Compositing enabled, optimise for speed
With Preferences -> GUI -> Effects

- Compositing Effects disabled = Corruption Gone!
- Compositing Effects enabled (Optimised For Video Memory) = Screen Corruption.
- Compositing Effects enabled (Optimised For Performance) = Screen Corruption.

Thanks for the pointers of where to look, I suppose this means I'll run with Compositing Effects disabled for  the time being. System seems a bit sluggish on redraw now, is that possible or just my imagination?
